It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (17/133): “It is not permissible to remove the hair of the eyebrows because this is the namas (plucking) for which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed those who do it, and it is a kind of changing the creation of Allaah, which is the action of the Shaytaan. If a woman’s husband tells her to do it, she should not obey him, because it is a sin, and there is no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience towards the Creator. Rather obedience should only be with regard to things that are good and proper, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said.”
Secondly:
It is permissible to remove any hair from the face apart from the hair of the eyebrows.
It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (17/130): “The evidence that it is permissible for a woman to remove hair from her body is the basic principle which states that it required for her to adorn herself for her husband. There is no evidence to suggest that this is not allowed, apart from the prohibition on al-namas (plucking), which means removing hair from the eyebrows.”
And it also says (5/197): “What is the Islamic ruling on removing hair that grows between the eyebrows? The Committee replied: It is permissible to pluck it, because it is not part of the eyebrows.”
Stupid Idiot, following is the reference from Sahih Bukhari and Muslim:
The evidence for that is the hadeeth of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Allaah has cursed the woman who does tattoos and the one who has them done, the woman who plucks eyebrows (al-naamisah) and the one who has it done (al-mutanammisah), and the one who files her teeth for the purpose of beauty, altering the creation of Allaah.”
Is God really so concerned with such trivial matters such as eyebrow maintenance? Does one have to search online to read what The Permanent Committee for Islaamic Research and Fataawa or the "Wise Ones" on gupshup decide on what is God's law on eyebrow plucking? Doesn't anyone else believe this was either: a) Muhammed's personal view on woman's hygiene, b) someone's interpretation of what Muhammed's view on woman's hygiene was, c) a reporting of the conservative view of the culture at the time, d) some random writing that someone dedided to include in the sunnah
Either way, it is proabably up to the individual to decide and not for other's to judge their decision.

How many of you shape or thread your eyebrows even though you might have heard it's wrong? I know some women do, and they justify by saying they do it for their husbands, and it makes them look tidy and presentable. What do you guys think?
